A police officer in a small town stopped a
motorist who was speeding down Main Street. "But
officer," the man began, "I can explain."
"Quiet!" snapped the officer. "I'm going to
let you spend the night in jail until the chief
gets back."

"But, officer, I just wanted to say,"
"And I said be quiet! You're going to jail!"
A few hours later the officer looked in on his
prisoner and said, "Lucky for you, the chief's
at his daughter's wedding. He'll be in a good
mood when he gets back."

"Don't count on it," answered the guy in the
cell. "I'm the groom."
